Been a while since i’ve posted… still alive!

Passed my Microsoft exam (70-271) yesterday which now means I’m known as Mr MCP! (Microsoft Certified Professional) Got loads more to go but its a start! I used the Microsoft Press Books & Transcender!
It’s coming up to Christmas and i usually put snow on my sites.. and I’m running a bit late with it this year so soon as I’ve finished this I’m going to whack up some snow flakes (if i remember how!!)

Still at College doing my HNC and got my final project this year which is going to be something slightly different then usual… I’m going to be writing a program in the VB.NET language using a MySQL database as the back end!

Anyways, best get the snow up and running and i wish everyone a Happy Christmas and New Year (in case i don’t post again for a month or so!)

My main Hard-disk drive decided to stop working on my computer and i fear i have lost everything. I need to get hold of a new PCB for the drive and hopefuly that’ll sort the problem out… atm it doesn’t spin so im hopeing its a power failure.

Good job i got a spare hdd with some stuff onit… in future i’m going to sync my documents across two drives… that way i’ve got to be very unlucky for to hdd’s to go.

Time to buy a nice 300GB…. was hopeing to spend the money on my car but oh well… maybe next month.

Told ya it wouldn’t be a month…

Work have been kindly enough to allow me to complete my HNC at college! But i have to start studying the Microsoft Certified Support Technician (MCP) for the company, which is not a problem as it’s the way i personally want to go!

My Network+ study is going very well! I’ve got around 200 pages left in the Mike Meyers all in one book (and yes i’m taking it in). Once i’ve completed reading the book i’m moving straight onto the CBT Nuggets trianing videos and loads of practise questions from the mike meyers cdrom and various sites.

So by the end of this year i should be A+, N+ and MCDST qualified! though i would like to get another MCP by the end of the year.

Everything is going great, looking at getting a 03/04 plate Renault Clio around October ish and doing some driving about…

Thats it for now!

Hello,

It’s been a while since i last posted, nearly around a month damn i’m getting lazy.

My new job is great and i’ve been enjoying the work! I really need to start slapping my self and try harder to fix problems in quicker times and starting using my head without diving into things (Bad habbits.)

My Network+ study is going slowly… i was expecting to take the exam this month but due to working and such i’ve become lazy! Anyways i’ve been studying in my lunch break and should have this done within the next month or 2.

That’s the post over for another month… nah it’ll be shorter then a month, i promise!
